Market analysis of 4 November 2022
Wind generators delivered 28.71 GWh on 4 November 2022 and solar generators delivered 41.89 GWh, a combined 70.60 GWh across Australia’s five eastern and southern market regions. In Network Map’s daily unit records for 1 November to 30 November 2022, that was the 30th-highest daily wind total of 30 dates and the 29th-highest combined wind and solar day.
Wind output averaged 63.44 GWh a day over the same dates, so 4 November ran 54.7% below the period mean. Hydro added 60.72 GWh, while black and brown coal units supplied 169.98 GWh.
The Daily Pattern Through The Month
The first chart places the event day in its monthly context. It shows daily wind and solar energy for each date from 1 November to 30 November. Solar was the larger of the two on 4 November, at 1.46 times the wind total.
Where The Energy Came From
New South Wales supplied the largest regional share of wind and solar energy, 26.00 GWh or 36.8% of the day’s total. Queensland followed with 23.67 GWh, and Victoria contributed 10.12 GWh.
Reading The Day For Asset Performance
A high-output day is a useful benchmark for comparing a single wind or solar unit with its fuel group and its region. The next step is to match each unit’s interval output with the prices that applied when the energy was delivered, which turns the volume result into a revenue view.
Figures use positive energy from Network Map’s daily unit records for 4 November 2022, grouped by source fuel classification and region. Daily totals are summed across all classified units.
